Col. Faulkner 0 Posted August 24, 2007 Oh God forbid if Russia/Iran/China/North Korea/Santa Claus should purchase SteelBeast Pro PE! That would be the end of us all! I don't really think disclosure of military secrets is the point at issue here. Israeli troops from the 1960s and 70s is one of the addon projects I'd like to do also - sometime later once I've properly  mastered addon creation. And Shin-Raider seems to have posted in the wrong thread. What's all that "80 lashes" garbage about? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chip360 0 Posted August 25, 2007 @Chip360 Those iraqi vehicle reskins i made will be released again in a new iraqi pack complete with 65 new units. Iraqi army, national gaurd, swat, national police, special forces, civillians, insurgents, red crescent units, everything you need to make a mission in iraq. The insurgents can be used in any country really... I just died and went to heaven! Thank you so much sir, this is great news! Although @Itchzak: it's a shame about the idf, I mean, I really don't believe its a big deal if people find out what weapons you guys are using and what are they going to do if they do? Oh no! They are using "X" Gun with "Y" Camo, Im sure if someone wanted to know, they could just run a simple google search, or research it themselves... But If you really believe the security of the Idf can be at stake, then perhaps it is all for the best.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dragonfire43560 27 Posted August 25, 2007 "Hey, I saw this totally awesome picture on the UK Daily Mail's web site of this guy getting caned in Tehran, Iran. There's also a video clip I saw once of someone being stoned, you could see the blood running out from under their burqa as they crumpled. The screams would be great for reference material too. I think it would be totally awesome if you could put that in game, so it would pump up the gore factor because that's really cool and awesome. The guy was all purple from the 80 lashes, and he was bleeding too. That would be really awesome, and I bet you guys can do that too. Seriously, get a friggin life.

Ilaafi 0 Posted August 25, 2007 In my opinion, both sides, Israel and Hizbollah, are considered as terrorists in Human rights in EU. No need to make Mod on either side. Both even violate this forums regulations in writing here. PS We Finns liked you Israelians, ( myself I ve some jewish blood in my family) But you behavior against UN troops, me too, is totally from arse! You fired on us UN Post. I did hold my trigger.

Col. Faulkner 0 Posted August 25, 2007 This thread has been well and truly hijacked and is now heading out of control for the broken down rail bridge. In any case, I do think it's served its purpose; "MilesTeg" is apparently making Hezbollah addons for ArmA. "Djfrogstar" was valiantly willing to have a go too but has been driven away by the uncool vibes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
opteryx 1562 Posted August 25, 2007 Guys, the best thing to do now would be to calm down and suppress whatever hostile comments you'd like to post and just leave it there, please I am tired of seeing people getting WL's after WL's for stuff like this , you know just as well as I do that you won't achieve anything except getting your ban-o-meter raised. Also this topic is terribly off-topic Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
W0lle 1048 Posted August 25, 2007 This thread indeed screams to be locked by now since it has nothing anymore to do with the intial idea (no matter if it's a good or bad one) but is just about ME politics now.

miles teg 1 Posted August 26, 2007 Woe hold on...to my IDF friends...The LoBo mod for OFP is already free for anyone and everyone to use or abuse. Â Its the same for every realistic addon of US troops. Â Any Iraq insurgent can get ahold of such addons for OFP or ArmA (arguably the most realistic total war simulators) or any FPS game. Â America and Israel should ban all such games if they are worried about terrorists getting ahold of it. Â But lets all be realistic folks... Hezbollah and ANY guerilla and/or terrorist organization does not need OFP or ArmA to get all the facts they want about IDF units, US military units, or that of any country. Â The Lost Brothers Mod for example, bases all of its information on open-source info that is not classified. Â We in fact DO NOT want classified info. Â Things like uniforms, ranks, units, etc... is already well known to just about every opponent of Israel. Â My missions are not based on actual IDF missions or even tactics. Â They are only loosely based on my own military experience in the US Army. Â So again, unless IDF soldiers (or ex-soldiers) make such missions, there is no danger of revealing such tactics (many of which are beyond the capability of most mission makers to simulate anyways). Likewise the AI of ArmA and OFP can not simulate accurately many modern infantry tactics. Â Advanced infantry tactics can only be done in MP games. Â So unless you IDF guys and Hezbollah guys both decide to play a MP match against each other, there is no chance of such tactics being revealed other than in actual real-life combat. Technologically, again, we reveal nothing in ArmA or OFP because the game engines are in most instances not capable of perfectly simulating many advanced electronic fire control and defensive systems used in real life. Â This was likely done intentionally by BIS for PRECISELY this reason. Â All of our armor settings are approximations as well and do not reveal detailed weak areas of any IDF armored vehicle. Â Hezbollah, already knows most of the weak spots as they are the usual weak spots found on most tanks. Â Typical weak areas of tanks are nothing secret and as long as you have a powerful enough AT weapon, you can punch through the usual weak spots found on all tanks. So really everyone needs to chill out. Â LoBo already made Hezbollah units just like we made IDF units, Egyptian units, Iranian units, and soon, Jordanian and Syrian units (all of which will hopefully be ported into ArmA). Â We've even had an Egyptian general send us non-classified information on small arms used by Egyptian units and uniform types just as we have Israeli advisors who help us with stuff like ranks, weapons load-outs, engine sounds, voices, etc... Â Yes the games can also be used for propaganda purposes but its fair for all sides to do it. Â In some of the movies I've made, I've been accused of creating "Zionist propaganda". Â I just shrug it off and don't take such people seriously and let them believe whatever they want. Â Like it or not, making propaganda videos is true for many FPS games which have West vs. Middle East armies or that have mods for such things. Â A quick check on You-Tube can confirm this. Â I perfer that then to watching actual videos of people dying. Â Better for it to be virtual then real. Â Personally I actually do look forward to the day when IDF and Hezbollah will only fight each other on video games rather then in real life. Â EDIT- FINALLY TO CLEAR THINGS UP...YES EVENTUALLY the Lost Brothers Mod will create Hezbollah units in ArmA but only AFTER we get our IDF stuff ported over. Â Our mod is not a political mod. Â That is why I make missions showing both sides, although granted I make alot more IDF missions. Unfortunatley the conflict in Lebanon is still very fresh and so emotions are still high. I recommend everyone to just chill out and enjoy the game. Leave the politics to other forums. Chris G. aka-Miles Teg<GD> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
